“Publicly, in front of almost two thousand people, I said that I define American by the people who have been excluded from the promise of America, which includes African Americans and Native Americans. I recited a quote from James Baldwin, words that I committed to memory the moment I read them while scouring through books at the Mountain View Public Library: "I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”
Jose Antonio Vargas, Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen

“The difference, however, is that when white people move, then and now, it’s seen as courageous and necessary, celebrated in history books. Yet when people of color move, legally or illegally, the migration itself is subjected to question of legality. Is it a crime? Will they assimilate? When will they stop?”
Jose Antonio Vargas, Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen

“Love wasn’t enough and trying wasn’t enough and nothing we did changed anything! It should have mattered. All that love and all that trying should have changed … something…”
T. Kingfisher, Thornhedge

“Salvation, redemption, it was as intentional as skin touching skin, as holy as that.”
Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom

“What is the point of all this talk? What problems do we solve by identifying problems, circling them?”
